About Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR)
Tricuspid regurgitation
occurs when the tricuspid valve fails to open and close properly,
causing blood to flow backwards into the right atrium. If left
untreated, TR can lead to heart enlargement and heart failure. In the
U.S. alone, there are an estimated 1.6 million patients suffering from TR1.
It is estimated that 50% of patients with mitral regurgitation have moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation2. The annual incidence of patients with TR is increasing with an estimated 220,000 patients in the US, and 330,000 patients in the EU developing moderate-severe TR each year3.
Despite the large prevalence of patients, TR is generally untreated by surgery with approximately 10,000 tricuspid valve surgeries performed annually in the US4. Annuloplasty repair is the most used technique for tricuspid valve surgery and represents 90% of the current volume. Isolated tricuspid valve surgery is particularly rare representing only 10% of current procedures while the remaining 90% are performed in conjunction with other left-heart surgeries4, 5.
